(PRESS RELEASE) -- Las Vegas, Nevada – Episode 10 - “Coming For
You” - of The Ultimate Fighter® Fridays reality series aired Friday
night on FX and featured two of this season’s four quarterfinal
matchups. Despite a close first and second round between Team
Carwin’s Neil Magny
and Bristol
Marunde, Magny claimed the win via unanimous decision. Viewers

faced-off against Team Nelson’s Colton
Smith. After a dominating two-round performance, the bout ended
in a victory for Smith via unanimous decision. Team Carwin and Team
Nelson now each have a fighter moving into the semifinals.

Here’s what the fighters had to say after their bouts:

Aoutneil Magny: “It feels like I’m in a dream still, feels like I
haven’t woken up from the dream. I’ve seen this moment so many
times, for me to be actually living it now; it just seems unreal
for the moment.”

Bristol
Marunde: “I feel great. I did exactly what Dana told us to do.
Go for the knockout, go for the finish, and I just went for it.
Maybe I’m out of the tournament, but I’m not out of the game.”

Colton
Smith: “I remember back when I first auditioned for this show,
something like 4,000 applicants, 500 people went to tryouts, 32
made it to fight, 16 made it into the house, and now I’m down to
the final four - that’s amazing. It feels great to be in the final
four and to be in the semi-finals. Dreams are coming true right
before my eyes. And whoever’s next, I’m ready to go.”

Igor
Araujo: “I lost my fire. This morning I had a dream that my
wife and my two kids were hugging me and telling me ‘it doesn’t
matter what, we love you.’ Marianna, Renzo, David, I’m sorry, I
gave my best but I’m nothing, nothing without you guys.”

The series resumes in two weeks, on Nov. 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX
